Josh Hart DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Knicks forwards OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) will play on Friday against the Cavaliers. Anunoby and Hart weren't available for Thursday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. As a result, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa moved into the starting lineup, with the duo combining for 30 points, 12 boards, nine assists, six steals, and three blocks. While the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) should keep them involved, they aren't expected to be nearly as productive for DFS managers.

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (knee) is one of four starters listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. According to head coach Tom Thibodeau, Hart, OG Anunoby (thumb), Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) are all considered game-time decisions. The Cavaliers are resting a couple of players since they have the East locked up, but the Knicks are only one game ahead of the Indiana Pacers for the third seed. If Hart can't suit up, Mikal Bridges and P.J. Tucker will likely soak up some of those minutes. Tucker shouldn't be considered for a streaming option or value play in DFS after registering just three points and six rebounds across 27 minutes in their last game.

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) will exit the lineup for Thursday's encounter with the Detroit Pistons. New York's ironman will receive a rare off night against the Pistons following a 48-minute outing in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Boston Celtics. Thursday's game marks the first leg of a back-to-back for the Knicks, so there's a good chance Hart will rejoin the fun on Friday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. With OG Anunoby (thumb) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) also on the shelf against Detroit, Precious Achiuwa, Miles McBride, and Landry Shamet are expected to pick up more work.
